  • Characterization of organic light-emitting devices

    Creator:
    Norris, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis steady-state (i.e. steady-state with respect to the applied voltage waveform) transient current-transient voltage [i(t)-v(t)], transient brightness-transient current [b(t)-i(t)], transient brightness-transient voltage [b(t)-v(t)], transient current [i(t)], transient brightness [b(t)], and detrapped charge analysis are introduced as novel organic light emitting device (OLED) characterization methods. These analysis methods involve...

  • Low-cost deposition methods for transparent thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Norris, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this dissertation is to introduce low-cost processing methods for the fabrication of ZnO transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs). A novel method for depositing ZnO body layers via spin-coating of a zinc nitrate-based spin solution is presented. The processing conditions of spin-coated ZnO are optimized to produce continuous and...

  • Improved stability in ACTFEL devices

    Creator:
    Khormaei, Iranpour
    Abstract:
    The stability of ZnS:Mn AC thin film Electroluminescence (ACEFEL) devices as demonstrated by the brightness-voltage (BV) characteristics is discussed. Two procedures for improvement of the stability are demonstrated. The first method is the addition of a CaS buffer layer to one or both interfaces of the ZnS active phosphor layer....

  • Amorphous oxide semiconductors in circuit applications

    Creator:
    McFarlane, Brian Ross
    Abstract:
    The focus of this thesis is the investigation of thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) in two circuit applications. To date, circuits implemented with AOS-based TFTs have been primarily enhancement-enhancement inverters, ring oscillators based on these inverters operating at peak frequencies up to ~400 kHz, and two-transistor...

  • Development of Cu-based Thin Films for Optoelectronic Applications

    Creator:
    Angelos, Gregory S.
    Abstract:
    CIGS and CdTe based commercial thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) require an absorber thickness greater than 2 µm and 4 µm, respectively, to adequately absorb the solar spectrum. To efficiently extract photoexcited electrons, these TFSCs require relatively defect-free absorbers with high-minority carrier mobility (> 100 cm2V−1s−1) and long lifetime (> 10...

  • Hot carrier degradation of sub-micron n-channel MOSFETs subject to static stress

    Creator:
    Aminzadeh, Payman G.
    Abstract:
    Hot carrier effects in sub-micron lightly doped drain (LDD) n-channel MOSFETs under static (DC) stress are studied in order to establish the degradation mechanisms of such devices. Degradation is monitored as a function of time at various gate voltages. Under accelerated aging conditions (i.e. large drain voltages) the gate voltage...

  • Electronic Conduction Mechanisms in Insulators

    Creator:
    Chiang, Tsung-Han
    Abstract:
    The research presented herein focuses on electrical assessment of oxide thin films as insulators. The current density-electric field (J-E) characteristics of four insulators of dramatically different electrical quality are assessed in terms of their operative electronic conduction mechanisms. Conduction in the two high-quality insulators is dominated by Ohmic conduction and...

  • Amorphous metal thin films as a platform for solution processing

    Creator:
    Landau, Nicholas P.
    Abstract:
    The research presented herein represents an effort to combine the ultra-smooth surface of an amorphous metal thin film (AMTF) with a solution-processed dielectric synthesized via prompt inorganic condensation (PIC). Analysis of dielectric film quality is carried out via electrical measurements of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes. Anneals at 500 and 700 °C...
